Hako

You’re falling through darkness, and cubes appear out of nowhere. Steer around them to stay alive. The longer you last, the faster you fall, and the higher score you earn. There are special power-ups scattered between the cubes. Green boxes slow you down, and blue pyramids make steering easier. Hako features Game Center integration with exciting challenges and badges. You can even listen to music from your iTunes library while you play. How far can you fall?
